Many people may imagine when they
rcad that Stanlcy's perilous expedition
down the. Congo and many other i'm
poriant exploring parties were accompa-
MED by quite large number of women
that they were "a source Of weakness.
On the contrary, they add strength to the
expedition. "A carrier who has his wife
with him seldom runs away. Explorers
testify also that tho women carry loads
nearly as heavy rs those Of the men, that
they bear their burdens more cheerfully,
wash and cook better and work for less
pay than the men. Savage Africa fol-;
lows our noble example in discriminating!
against women in the matter of wages.
1t was a pleasant little popularity Of
Livingstone that tic usually referred to
African women in his writings rs;
"ladies." He and other explorers testify;
to the fact TINT among many tribes, es.9
pccialiy on the great interior plateau Of
Africa, the men exhibit much affection
for their women. Livingstone tells, for
instance, of young married couples stand.
ing lovingly in their doorways with their
arms around each other. u Schweinfurth,i
who introduced to us the red-skinned
Nyam Nyams, says that though they are
among the bravcst and proudest Of tho
tribes Of Africa, they will yet, if any of their
women arc captured by an enemy, make,
my sacrifice and incur any disgrace TO
get them buck again. The inferior West,
coast negroes, on the other hand, appear
to know neither love nor jealousy. Mr.,
j. Manteiro, who lived among them for
years in Angola, says that he never saw a
negro there manifest the least tenderness
toward q ncgrcss or give or. receive any
carcss that would indicate the slightest
loving regard on either side. 4 1 sis25
OF course, as in all savage lands n 4
women Of Africa do the hard wo !. Of
the fields, while their lords or masters
sit in the shade and gossip or 60 on the
hunt or the warpath. Life is u round of
hard, unrcqutcd toll for most African
women And yet these merry-bcarled
creatures forget their hard lot the mo-
ment the tolls of the day, arc over, and
with their male companions they will
gather in the moonlight or around big
fires and sing and dance out half the
night. In the. history OF Indian
wars we Is often read Ii that the i
women share in and kcenly enjoy. the
barbarities inflicted by the men; but the
women of Africa seldom figure as ag--5
grcssors in any Of the tales of tribal war
fare or savage cruelty 1t is a strange;
fact indeed that in some large districts
of Africa while war is going on tho
women on both sides pass freely and un-$
molcsted through the enemy's country
;top cnccably exchange their humble wares !
in the accustomed markets. &
